I can't tell from the way the sources are formatted (not numbered) here which of the sources actually supports the birthdate.
The bio asserts eight footnotes support this date... but on the other hand, scrolling down to eyeball the footnotes it's not clear which of them is a primary source; and which could just be secondary and tertiary sources copying from each other of the years.

It looks like one profile was created manually and the other one was created by importing a gedcom. Importing a gedcom creates new profiles. It is not possible to update a profile by a gedcom import.
